Summary
The release notes for the Azure Connected Machine agent generally provide parity between Windows and Linux, listing features and fixes for both platforms. However, there is a mild Windows bias: Windows download links are shown first, installer instructions and troubleshooting focus on Windows tools (MSI, PowerShell, Command Prompt), and some improvements reference Windows-specific scripts (ExtensionCleanup.ps1) or GUI. Linux equivalents (e.g., RPM installer, systemctl) are mentioned but less frequently and often after Windows details. There are no Linux command-line examples or troubleshooting tips, and some sections (Known Issues, installer instructions) are Windows-only.
Recommendations
- Alternate the order of Windows and Linux download links, or present them side-by-side.
- Include Linux-specific troubleshooting guidance and command-line examples (e.g., RPM installer usage, systemctl commands) where Windows instructions are given.
- Where Windows tools/scripts are referenced (e.g., ExtensionCleanup.ps1), mention Linux equivalents or clarify if not applicable.
- Add Linux-focused known issues if any exist, and ensure parity in installer troubleshooting steps.
- Explicitly state when a feature or fix is Windows-only or Linux-only for clarity.
